In the digital age, organizations can’t afford to keep designing solutions around every new technology that emerges. That’s because technologies will keep emerging and then becoming obsolete, thereby leaving a trail of wasted investments every time you design a solution around them.
For instance, your customers could be using mobile phones today to interact, but tomorrow, they might use wearables, and it could be something altogether different after that. Implementing solutions around changing technologies can therefore be a tedious affair. A better approach is to first understand the end-user experience that you want to bring to your customers, and then design a solution that can leverage your existing technology assets and evolve over time to adopt to newer technologies.
This is where importance of Platform Thinking comes in. Platforms can help enterprises leverage their legacy technologies built over a period of time, and future-proof your investment.
This webinar will uncover what platforms are, how can organizations re-orient themselves to leverage them to unlock their potential and compete more effectively in the market. We’ll present the business case for platforms as well as the tools and frameworks required to enable the same.
There are plenty of success stories for platforms, some of which would be shared during the webinar, as well as the learnings from the same.
